    Many years ago my station of choice when driving to work started running an advert for car safety. The sound effect was a loud blaring car horn and the sounds of screaming tires and a crash. The first, second, third time I heard it was instant jolt of panic and left me jittery. I switched stations after the third time.

      Made a greentext out of your story (I took some creative liberties):

      be me, driving to work still tired and half asleep

      turn on radio loudly to wake me up a bit

      suddenly hear the most horrific accident happening

      take a second to compose myself

      it was the fucking radio station

      fully awake now

      And this is part of why I don’t listen to the radio while I drive. The other part is because I bought a cheap android stereo and I couldn’t be fucked to buy the adapter to hook my antenna up to the stereo.
      I guess being lazy is saving me from early morning drive radio jump-scares.
